Herman Cain

 Today I'm writing about Herman Cain, a man that most of you have never heard of. I had never heard of him either until a friend was listening to Neil Boortz, and Herman Cain was filling in. 

Herman Cain earned a degree in  mathematics from Morehouse College, and a master's degree from Purdue University. He has also worked for the Department of the Navy , as a mathematician. Cain joined the Pillsbury Company in 1977  where he rose to the position of Vice President of Corporate Systems and Services. In 1982 he began working at Pillsbury's Burger King Division. Within a year he was managing 400 Burger King units in the Philadelphia region, the poorest performer. Within three year, he region ranked number one.

Herman Cain is best noted for turn around of the financially troubled Godfather's Pizza, Inc. chain. In little over a year Cain was able to make the chain profitable and in 1988, he led his executive team in a buyout of the company from Pillsbury.

Currently Herman Cain, has a syndicated talk radio show out of Atlanta, and is frequently a substitutes host for the Neal Boortz Show. 

What I admire about Herman Cain, and what he shows America, is that if you have the desire to achieve and make something out of yourself you can do it in America, without using race as an excuse for not trying. He didn't use Affirmative Action to get ahead, and prosper, he used desire, drive, aspiration, and his mind. He had a goal, and set fourth a path to accomplishing his goals. If this man can do it, then we all can do it.
